Best Answer

AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) is a disease involving the immune system weakening, which often results in cancer or other serious diseases. HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a viral infection that, if left untreated, may cause AIDS. HIV was first observed by doctors in America in 1981, but was likely dormant long before that.
